This table is used to track license list requests and is maintained by the Legal team.
We started tracking license requests in this table after release 1.18 of the License List. Entries submitted prior to that had their Date Submitted arbitrarily set to January 1, 2013.
| Status Name | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Accepted vX.yy | The license was added to the SPDX License List for the version indicated. The version indicated may be yet to be released in the case where a license is accepted in between SPDX License List releases. |
| Under Review | A license addition has been requested and is currently under review. |
| Not Accepted | The license was reviewed by the Legal Team and it was decided to not add the license to the SPDX License List at this time. |
| On Hold | This means that more research is needed or there are other extenuating factors that have prevented a decision on the addition of the license to be made. See the Notes for more information. |
